Portal:Toxic Sludge/Intro

Welcome to CMD's Food Rights Network and our clearinghouse on hazardous sewage sludge!

WARNING: That garden "compost" you see, the one called Amend, promoted in photo ops of "organic" gardens by Hollywood stars is sewage sludge.  The stars promoting the gardens were unwittingly paired with a corporation whose main business is selling sewage sludge-based products, but without any such disclosure on the bags. No law requires that sewage sludge be labeled to warn you to avoid it, so the sewage industry now calls it "compost" and disposes of it by duping unsuspecting gardeners into putting it on their gardens. Kellogg Garden Products and the Environmental Media Association are corporate partners. Kellogg contributes its products and support to EMA, and EMA greenwashes Kellogg's brand name and thus its hidden sludge products.

We have a new article on the Environmental Media Association and our letters demanding that they stop the greenwashing, which you can read here.

May 1-7, 2011, the sewage sludge industry sponsored International Compost Awareness Week organized by the front group called the US Composting Council, run by the sludge mega-corporation, Synagro, and others. It's all part of the biggest toxic scam in the United States - your "organic" fertilizer and "compost" may really be sewage sludge, and you are NOT supposed to be aware.
